Thank you for sharing my latest piece and the glowing review! I always enjoy your commentary and insight on art. Truth be told, I do have misgivings about calling my website JordanHendersonFineArt. I added "Fine Art" simply because the domain names "Jordan Henderson" and JordanHendersonArt were already taken. In hind site some other work around like "The Art of Jordan Henderson" might have been best, but too late now - I don't want to trouble myself with changing the domain name.

Oh, I hope you don't take me too seriously on that point! I'm not against fine art.

To say that content is more important than form is like saying that space is more important than time. In reality the two are never found apart from each other.

The term exists for a reason - a fine artist is assumed not only to have honed their craft in a way that might not be possible without instruction, but also to be familiar with the history of art, to have a sense of historical time, and to basically be part of a lineage...

Trust me, I respect fine art. I just couldn't write a whole blurb without talking shit about something ;)

No worries, I liked the irreverence.

Yo Crow, Your whatever her position is asked for poems from me, I think published one, said she'd publish more, loved what I sent, then I mailed her in Canada two books and no response. Any idea?

Good work keep up
